      <h2>Hardware Prerequisites</h2>
      <p>See the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.dscaler.org/card-support/index.htm">supported 
        cards page</a> to find out if your video capture card is supported. Please 
        note that currently, your performance may degrade significantly if your 
        CPU is slower than 400 MHz or your video card is not AGP. In addition, 
        when using a system that is borderline fast enough, DScaler is sensitive 
        to system tray applications and active services.</p>
      <h2><br>
        Installation</h2>
      <p>Remove any previously installed version of DScaler. For versions greater 
        than 4.0, you must uninstall the program using the control panel. For 
        versions less than 4.0, delete the entire directory in which DScaler is 
        located.</p>
      <p>Download the latest installation file. Double-click on the file to launch 
        it, and then follow the wizard prompts to install DScaler in your preferred 
        location.</p>
      <h2><br>
        Getting It Working</h2>
      <p>1. Double-click the DScaler icon that has been placed on your desktop 
        during the installation process.</p>
      <p><br>
        2. You will be presented with a screen requesting general hardware configuration 
        information. Specify the processor speed, and preferred default from the 
        dialog box. Then choose whether or not you would prefer to use the full 
        CPU while DScaler is running. Using the full CPU helps ensure that the 
        whole processing procedure runs as smoothly as possible and is entirely 
        normal. When necessary, DScaler will give up control to other applications 
        that are running.</p>
      <p>Press &quot;OK&quot;.</p>
      <h3><img src="images/setup_general_hardware_setu.jpg" width="453" height=
"413" border="2"></h3>
      <p><br>
        3. Choose the make and model number of the capture card that you have 
        in your computer system and the tuner that your card uses. DScaler attempts 
        to autodetect both pieces of information, but many capture cards do not 
        provide for autodetection. If this is the case with your card, you may 
        need to look at the markings on the capture card for the make and model 
        number and the silver tuner box on the card for tuner make and model number.</p>
      <p>DScaler provides for use of multiple capture cards in one system. You 
        will be prompted to specify the capture card and tuner for each suitable 
        capture card in your system.</p>
      <h3><img src="images/setup_setup_card.jpg" width="467" height="296" border="2"></h3>
      <p><br>
        4. Select the input source that you would like to use. Please note that 
        each input source can be chosen by using a corresponding hotkey. For instance, 
        in the screen below, you can see that the hotkey for Composite input is 
        Ctrl+Alt+F2.</p>
      <h3><img src="images/setup_video_input.jpg" border="2" width="382" height="212"></h3>
      <p><br>
        5. Select video format standard that applies for your source. Unless configured 
        otherwise, DScaler will attempt to autodetect the format that is used 
        by the connected source.</p>
      <h3><img src="images/setup_video_format.jpg" border="2" width="262" height="203"></h3>
      <p><br>
        6. Select the audio source that accompanies your video source.</p>
      <h3><img src="images/setup_audio_input.jpg" border="2" width="349" height="233"></h3>
      <p><br>
        7. Select the audio standard that applies to the audio source chosen above.</p>

        file, please see the <a href=
